Happened to us at a concert in Vail. Stood up by a soulless corporation after a 90 mins drive. Said fuck it and followed the band to Red Rocks a day later. Saw CAAMP in the rain. Son was gruntled. I was cold and wet. Core memory. We won. 

Thanks for getting me to search for wth  is CAAMP. Pleasant surprise.😁

I guess this is the best active thread for this. Using AI to monitor kids’ online text/speech is being abused. Of course, I understand concern on the other side of the argument, but the big, bolded last sentence quoted below (there's more at the link) is a broad societal problem, imo. Normalizing Big Brother shit. Let's train the next generation to "watch what they say."

Yeah, that's not an original sentiment or statement, but I don't get why we're putting up with all of this stuff, as it's increasingly being spread throughout all aspects of our lives and disturbs my libertarian nature, in the free speech and civil liberties sense.

It's not really an AI issue per se, except for how the tech can be abused, which I guess you could argue is the whole AI problem thing.

Lesley Mathis knows what her daughter said was wrong. But she never expected the 13-year-old girl would get arrested for it.

The teenage girl made an offensive joke while chatting online with her classmates, triggering the school’s surveillance software.

Before the morning was even over, the Tennessee eighth grader was under arrest. She was interrogated, strip-searched and spent the night in a jail cell, her mother says.

Earlier in the day, her friends had teased the teen about her tanned complexion and called her “Mexican,” even though she’s not. When a friend asked what she was planning for Thursday, she wrote: “on Thursday we kill all the Mexico’s.”

Mathis said the comments were “wrong” and “stupid,” but context showed they were not a threat.

“It made me feel like, is this the America we live in?” Mathis said of her daughter’s arrest. “And it was this stupid, stupid technology that is just going through picking up random words and not looking at context.”

Surveillance systems in American schools increasingly monitor everything students write on school accounts and devices. Thousands of school districts across the country use software like Gaggle and Lightspeed Alert to track kids’ online activities, looking for signs they might hurt themselves or others. With the help of artificial intelligence, technology can dip into online conversations and immediately notify both school officials and law enforcement.

Educators say the technology has saved lives. But critics warn it can criminalize children for careless words.

“It has routinized law enforcement access and presence in students’ lives, including in their home,” said Elizabeth Laird, a director at the Center for Democracy and Technology.

Guess we better hope no students ever quote Shakespeare's Henry VI about "let's kill all the lawyers."

Scratch that.  In this era, AI finding that post would result in the student getting a college scholarship and an immediate job offer from law enforcement.

Cracker Barrel is enshittening its logo. I also understand they are changing from the “old timey” decor to something called “modern farmhouse.” 
 

Likely to end up an enshittening project on par with Pizza Hut going from its stained glass lamps and checkerboard table coverings to the bland and depressing “The Hut.”

I had hoped we left these terrible rebrands in the 2010s.

It was back in '95 or '96, I worked at the Black Eyed Pea on South Lamar when it was rebranded as Black Eyed Pea Market Grill. Some changes I remember were we started having to wear white long sleeve dress shirts and black pants rather than the polos and khakis, smaller portions, smaller glasses for iced tea and water, and the introduction of this chicken pasta marinara dish that was pretty horrible. It became Pluckers not long after that.

The US Military Is Raking in Millions From On-Base Slot Machines | WIRED

Didn't know where to put this and didn't think it deserved a new thread

At the US Military Compound in downtown Taipei during the late 1950s, the Officers’ Club had a windowless room about 25’x25’ with slot machines lined up on all four walls. 
Minor dependents were not permitted, but I peeked in to see if my Mom was winning anything. The place was packed and the cigarette smoke was almost too thick to see across the room from the door. 
It was like that every Friday & Saturday evening.

At that time Taipei had no television stations, no American movie theaters, and only one US Armed Forces Radio station for entertainment. Most of the US military wives drank heavily.

Volkswagen is charging a subscription to get more horsepower from an electric model in Britain.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62weyp4qqgo.amp
 

Quote

German car making giant Volkswagen (VW) has introduced a subscription for UK customers wanting to increase the power of some of its electric cars.

Those who buy an eligible car in its ID.3 range can choose to pay extra if they want to unlock the full power of the engine inside the vehicle.

VW says the "optional power upgrade" will cost £16.50 per month or £165 annually - or people can choose to pay £649 for a lifetime subscription. 

The firm said it was "offering customers choice" with the feature.

“Upgrade” here is a misnomer. Everything is already in the car, non-subscribers just have a computer limiter.

I'm not lifey-sciency enough to evaluate hardly anything the FDA does from the science standpoint.

I do sabe some of the exclusivity provisions and how it interfaces with the USPTO, but that's about it, other than some general knowledge of bureaucracy in technical areas.

Nobody gives two shits about a logo change - it's change for the sake of some CEO mouth breather coming and and pointing to "see, look what I did" shit. 

See earlier example of Pizza Hut.  The premise that it's "about staying relevant across digital platforms" is just stupid.  It's fucking Cracker Barrel.  You only go there because it has a cool gift shop, it's right off the highway, and it's not fast food in a gas station.

Listening to a podcast about the early air marshals post-9/11.  They had a provision in their contract that they could "shoot" their way to a larger salary, ie., timed shots on the range.

EX.  Shoot a 2.4, maybe your base is $50K. but lower the time to a 2.2, maybe now you make $56K, etc.  Drop below 2.0, you make even more.

I look at this differently: I think that there genuinely is a deepening pushback against the depressing and sloppy beigification of everything. I think that people actually didn’t like the half-assed rework of a piece of familiar, iconic, and harmless Americana (even if attached to a mediocre chain restaurant) into appified slop. 
 

But, I do think it’s a reflection of a dangerous political moment in this way: the people who don’t like it are unable to express why they don’t like it outside of political wars. Any point of disagreement or dissatisfaction is reduced to an argument over woke/anti-woke in the same way any and all preferences in the Soviet Union were framed as to whether they were revolutionary or reactionary.

And this works the other way, too. Because it’s been politicized, people have the knee-jerk reaction of either defending what is truly a shitty rebrand or saying that no one should care even though caring about trivial aesthetic and marketing shit has a long non-politicized proud tradition (see uniform pron thread).

It should be simple and non-political to  say the obvious: The Cracker Barrel rebrand sucks. It’s boring and bland and makes our shared human-shaped geography just a little bit more soulless and less fun in an era when soul and fun is in short supply. It’s borne of conformist and soggy marketing brain that thinks making the physical world more like a smartphone screen is good design. 
 

The fact that we as a society can’t find the way to say this without reference to hyper-partisan framing  is further evidence of creeping totalitarianism in the sense that almost no opinions can be voiced or conversations held outside politics. It’s a hallmark of decaying democracies and hyper-ideological dictatorships.

It's not political to me - it's rehashed corporate fuckery when a new "leader" comes in and feels the need to put their fingerprint on worthless shit that doesn't need changing.  

You want to get most patrons attention, start selling even cooler shit in the gift shop.  Contract with RTIC or YETI.  Start selling fishing and outdoor gear.  Take a page out of the modern hunting apparel playbook and brand cool hunting gear/clothing like Carhart and Dickey's did.  Shit, I'd rock a camo Cracker Barrel shirt during dove season.  

Cater to the rural "frat bros" and red dirt country kids that could make CB "cool" again.

He LITERALY called it "woke."  Excuse me, HE didn't... the actual office of the president, the official mouthpiece for the executive branch of the United States of America, called it "woke." A fucking nothing of a logo change.  You say it's not political.  FFS, a political official, using his official account, is attacking it as....a political move.  In plain and direct language.  These are your guys.  Go sit with them, this is how you want things to be.

Gavin didn't call out BBB....they called HIM out.  He answered.  BBB's statement was overtly and openly political, aimed squarely at him. He answered.

Cracker Barrel's logo change, on the other hand, was ordinary milquetoast marketing nothingness.  Bland, pointless, a giant "whatever."  That has now drawn the ire of the fucking most powerful man in the world, president of the ENTIRE country as a matter of law, who is attacking it as "woke."

Again, the biggest bunch of pussies to ever walk the fucking earth.  "Everything I don't like is woke" spineless simpering pussies who are so desperate to make enemies of everyone and everyone.  Fuck them all to hell.

He LITERALY called it "woke."  Excuse me, HE didn't... the actual office of the president, the official mouthpiece for the executive branch of the United States of America, called it "woke." A fucking nothing of a logo change.  

 

Gavin didn't call out BBB....they called HIM out.  He answered.  BBB's statement was overtly and openly political, aimed squarely at him. He answered.

Cracker Barrel's logo change, on the other hand, was ordinary milquetoast marketing nothingness.  Bland, pointless, a giant "whatever."  That has now drawn the ire of the fucking most powerful man in the world, president of the ENTIRE country as a matter of law, who is attacking it as "woke."

Again, the biggest bunch of pussies to ever walk the fucking earth.  "Everything I don't like is woke" spineless simpering pussies who are so desperate to make enemies of everyone and everyone.  Fuck them all to hell.

You sure about that?  That Trump called it "woke" directly?

Yes.  Directly.
